SUPERSTAR

Until recently it was thought that existed a superior limit (150 times the mass of our sun), for massive stars. A myth that has just collapsed when being had discovered a star 265 times but massive that our sun, with 1 000 000 years of existence. The star –part of a massive cluster of stars of Tarantula Nebula, to 165,000 years-light of our Milky Way- was discovered by the European Space Observatory's it Telescopes, located in the desert of Atacama. It has been predicted that it superficial temperature surpasses the 40,000 grades Celsius, is 7 times but heat and several millions of times but brilliant that our sun.
